WEST ORANGE, N.J., Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Educational
Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), a national leader in
specialized technical training, recently announced that
Travis Cox of Lincoln Tech's East Windsor, CT campus took first place in a
national student technician competition in Raleigh, NC. The 2019 TMCSuperTech
competition, presented during the fall meeting of the American
Trucking Association's Technology and Maintenance Council, brought
together more than 80 diesel technicians and students for a test of
professional skills. The competitions consisted of both
written exams and a series of hands-on demonstrations.
Cox was awarded first place in the TMC FutureTech portion of the
competition. He graduated from his Lincoln Tech Diesel
Technician career training program earlier this year, and now works
as a diesel engine specialist for FedEx Freight. He
originally enrolled in Lincoln Tech
after serving honorably in the U.S. Navy, and connected with FedEx
Freight through an on-campus career fair.
"Lincoln Tech gave me the knowledge
I needed to start my career, and [their] Career Services [team]
showed me the different directions I could go," Cox says. "My
current employer, FedEx Freight, was one of the presenters on
campus. I can't thank Lincoln
Tech enough."
"All of us at Lincoln Tech are
extremely proud of Travis and the dedication he showed to his
career training," says Scott Shaw,
Lincoln Tech's President and CEO.
"To learn that he had won this prestigious competition shouldn't
come as a surprise to anyone who followed his progress throughout
his education. The fact that he's an honored member of our
Armed Forces only makes this achievement more special."
Cox says that as a veteran, it was important to find a career
training school that understood the particular needs of servicemen
transitioning back into civilian life. He found that at
Lincoln Tech.
"Lincoln made [their commitment] apparent with everything
they've done," he says. "I would tell veterans, don't wait.
If you have the drive to learn, come here. Make that
jump. Lincoln Tech makes it
easy."
The entire Lincoln Tech family
congratulates Travis Cox on his
victory!
